I’ve become really interested by Dave Winer’s weblog lately. I applaud his effort to re-start a community podcast directory. I think this is really important; directories shouldn’t be corporate owned and operated, especially not when they’re about a community-heavy topic (like podcasting).

I also appreciate that he put together the OPML of the New York Times podcasts. I really never realized that the Times had such an extensive list of podcasts. It makes them very easy to subscribe to them in any number of podcatchers. However, I think a lot of “regular” people just use the iTunes podcast directory. Would it be worth the effort to have, in Dave’s directory, links to the iTunes subscribe page for the podcasts?

Just a thought.
